Steele was the right guy to send the wake-up message. Steele has proven he's one of the best-starting pitchers in baseball. I've compared him to Lester since 22 and he just continues to resemble many different attributes.
FINALLY A CUB SHOWS LIFE!! Steele needs to be a lifetime Cub extension yesterday. But Jed Hoyer is our POBO so that won't happen. Steele might've just earned the new Lester/Rizzo title with that outburst, he's tired of this bullshit and I'm loving it. Daily reminder that the Cubs are 10.5 games behind the team that has a $130 million lower payroll. Even with a win, Neris tried his best to lose.
Another comment here. Love that you tell it like it is. I am 54 this year and have never seen a Cubs team with no energy and bad play. I really hope they do wake up. Thank you for great content.
@@larrydigangi4707 I have been a Cubs fan since my mom was carrying me in her womb. My mom and dad both loved the Cubs unfortunately my dad passed in Jan 2010 so didn't get to see them win.
Their defense overall this year has been a joke. They've been so piss poor in recent years on rundowns. I mean, do they ever practice that shit at all? It's supposed to be fundamental baseball, but they suck at fundamentals.
AWESOME 👏 !!!! I didn’t see it but it’s about damn time somebody said something. It looks like a bunch of robots walking around that dugout and the field love Justin Steele
@@BrandonHembrough how is Neris our closer ??? HE SUCKS!!! How is Amaya in the pros ? Cant hit & cant throw to second. Nobody with a sub .200 should be starting on that team. Id give PCA some slack as a rookie with defensive skills.
Thank you, Justin Steele!! It's about time that someone had the guts to call their teammates out! Maybe it's already been done in the clubhouse, but we the fans needed to see that someone on this team cares enough to do it! We sure as hell haven't seen Craig Counsel say or do Anything!! I'd much rather have David Ross, any day!
Kap flippering again.....Bellinger issue it is on the player. Rundowns....it is on the manager? You don't think Counsill worked on rundowns for 6 weeks in Arizona? What about all the rundown practice each player had for 5+years in the minors? but it is Counsill's fault? Keep flipping Kap
That Counsell hire is looking like a HUGE mistake more and more after each game. His post game interviews are truly excruciating and as a life long fan absolutely infuriating to listen to. It was nice to see that Steele doesn't mind "offending" his teammates for making bush league mistakes on the field. 🤣
DAMN RIGHT! JUSTIN STEELE WENT THE HELL OFF! I WAS AT THE GAME I SAW IT IN PERSON! THIS TEAM NEEDED IT! WTG, MR STEELE! IT'S ABOUT FREAKING TIME SOMEBODY SHOWED SOME FIRE TO THIS DEAD ASS I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ATTITUDE TEAM!!! HOPEFULLY, THIS IS A START TO WINNING GAMES!!!
And STILLLLLLLL Hector FN Neris tried his absolute best to lose this fucking game again. It’s a shame they have nobody else. I can’t stand that man. All in all Happ, Busch, Steele, even PCA GAMERS. Dansby looking like a stud on D for the last two months but he has to hit the ball in the air more and slug. Him and Belli.
Bad rundowns today. Both ran the runner to the next base. Counsell is not a rah rah, yeller. Not going to happen. He needs to be who he is and always has been. Still think it was an excellent hire. Hope the Cubs get a pulse, and start the come back. Take that.
Hey Kap! FINALLY! Finally someone has the ⚾️⚾️⚾️ to call the TEAM out in the dugout and that was terrific and about time (long overdue). Justin is not only a really good starting pitcher but now he has established himself as a “leader” on this ball club and someone who will be more respected going forward. Hoping this was a WAKE UP CALL. The Cubs troubles are not over. The roster issues have not been fixed (this is very poorly structured team) and we are unfortunately stuck with this $40M manager. Although I still have hopes that Jed/Carter will do something at the trade deadline, I’m not getting my hopes up high. If I were to bet, the Cubs will be sellers. What Justin did was refreshing. GO JUSTIN STEELE ⚾️
What is sad is that the Cubs brass was probably more irritated with Justin calling the team out then Bellinger forgetting how many outs there were the other day.
Check out the response by Counsell when asked about Steele blowing up. Same boring non emotional reply. We just won and dude looks like his dog died, AGAIN
Not sure if I’m the person you’re referring to, but I said Bellinger needed to pick up the third base coach, not that it’s on the first base coach. Everything else I’m 100% with you. The explosion from Steele is LONG overdue. Hope it’s a season-turning moment.
@@bza069 I’m saying he lost track of the ball, not the outs, which is why I said he needs to pick up his third base coach who would indicate where it is and/or what to do.
Can we all just throw in the towel and sell everyone and start over? Because, we are not going to pull off a miracle turnaround Edmonton Oilers season here. This isn’t hockey, and picking up a few marginally good players at the trade deadline isn’t going to help this floundering team anyway. So, let’s just sell, and start from scratch next season.
Great job Steele. The wake up lasted one day. Only two hits on Sunday. 🤢 😩. Don’t need hot heads, what they need is victories. I love fire but “fire” by Baez, Strop, and Contreras to just name a few grew old very quick.
this team is in free fall. feel bad for Steele and Imaga. You can trade everyone else and I wont miss them... Maybe Happ because he is turning it around it seems. And PCA is just a rookie... gotta teach him how to hit and learn the strike zone tho
Good for Steele because it wasn’t going to come from Council it’s just bad baseball; Horner makes too really stupid plays in the same inning first the relay throw to 5 is late second the infield is playing IN and a looper is hit over his head; he has absolutely no chance to catch it and he doesn’t allow the fastest CF in baseball to take charge of the play and the ball drops!!!! If I were Steel I would have said the same damn thing GOOD for him!!!
that was a perfect bunt... mightve gotten batter out at first only, but more likely he wouldve been safe. Mishandled the ball, but both players were probably safe anyhow.
Craig Counsell is so monotone. I'm sick of him not sticking up for his players when theres some bad strike 3 calls. And there's been a lot. From the 6in outside to wisdom a few weeks ago and even today with nico. I meed to hear some f bombs from him after a loss like yesterday in the post game interview.
I realize David Ross had his flaws as manager. However the fire never left that dude!! I love what Justin did. However our overpaid 40 million dollar manager should be doing that in some way. Not him though!! He just sits on his lifeless ass and happy to collect a paycheck!!
And Neris still puts the winning run on base. He’s not a closer. He’s done, sorry. That’s on Jed and his judgment and eye for “talent”. Glad Steele and Little and Neris showed some fire. Where is it on the field and with the manager? Are they OK with mediocrity??
Counsell doesnt fit with the Cubs at all. Its bad karma to fire Ross to replace him with this guy. It was wrong to do it to Rick Renteria too, but Maddon had fire and passion.
KAP: Anyone who watched the game, and specifically the bottom of the third, must by now be wondering why Rob Manfred and MLB aren’t delisting the Cubs organization. Steele wasn’t rallying the team after he screamed at the top of the dugout. He was decrying them. He hasn’t won a game since last September and yes, he’s frustrated, but he’s also been charted since last year and teams are sitting on his high fastball. Cubs were fortunate to win this game, and if they continue making mistakes you don’t even see in little league this team will devolve into the finger-pointing we witnessed today. Season is already over. Cubs should just put together the most salable players they can before their value really drops as it did with Stromer last year. I’m thinking Bellinger, Morel, Steele, Hendricks, Amaya, Wisdom. Just bundle them and call it what it is: a fire sale. This is a disaster.
Steele isn't going anywhere. They can build around him. Morel's trade value is rock bottom now. Hoyer should've packaged him to acquire Clase in the offseason but didn't, 'cause he overvalued him, so he isn't moving or getting optioned, he's shockingly their biggest bat (still) and if the Cubs are truly out of it, he needs AB's. So he isn't moving. Amaya & Wisdom will just be cut at some point, they're bums. Belli & Hendricks will be flipped imo. Neris & Leiter, Jr. are flippable as well. Beyond that, Tallion might be your best piece. He's quietly having a great season, and if it continues they might be able to sell high on him after all.
@@naturallawman2965 You sound like the rare Cubs fan who isn’t delusional. Morel on his best and luckiest day is a .200 hitter. Counsell will bat him 6th today, and he’ll ho 0-4 with two strikeouts. Steele needs to go because he clearly doesn’t want to play on this train wreck they are calling a team. From office needs to jettison, purge the entire pen, and half the rotation in addition to Morel, Amaya, Wisdom, Swanson, Bellinger. It is over, my friend. Forget about building. This team is red tagged. Condemned.
Utter fantasy a player screaming can motivate players to hit, pitch, field ,and run the bases better. Same with Counsell being dry hurting player productivity. Grandpa Ross's bubbly personality didn't prevent a September 2023 collapse.
Cubs lose Cards win!!! Ryan Helsley 30 consecutive saves. Lance Lynn 4-3. 3.59 ERA Cardinals 43-40 and working towards 1st place. Masyn Winn is just as restless as a cat with a hot foot....
Kap, Justin Steele did a good job calling out the defense. However, the reality is that Steele was billed as the "Ace". He has zero wins at the 50% mark. Justin, take a look in the mirror.
he has a 3.20 era and missed a month, its clearly not his fault. not fielding the bunt was.....but thats nothing compared to that joke of a rundown and Morel's usual empty-headed fielding.
Come on Kap Neris didn't get the save the umpires did for him with the most atrocious umpiring I ever seen behind the plate. During a game you will get 2 dozen missed calls {AT LEAST} on both sides. Since this stupid clock ballplayers can't even have the decency to yell at umpires or get thrown out. When will these umpires get their eyes examined. Today in that 9th inning it went our way.
Bout time somebody screamed!!!! WAKE THE ……. UP!!!!!
Justin Steele my favorite Cub, now more than ever. Was waiting on some FIRE 🔥 from the Cubs
Bout time someone on the team said what we were all thinking, good on Steele. These guys need to get their heads out of their asses…
Steele was the right guy to send the wake-up message. Steele has proven he's one of the best-starting pitchers in baseball. I've compared him to Lester since 22 and he just continues to resemble many different attributes.
Amazing they won hitting 1 for 12 with men in scoring position.
@@kevinwalter5083 Home runs will make up for that when our guys actually hit them..
@@Galla12 You're right, but this team doesn't hit many HR's either. It's such a shame that the starting rotation has been wasted!
Bote needs to play Morel needs to clear his head.
FINALLY A CUB SHOWS LIFE!! Steele needs to be a lifetime Cub extension yesterday. But Jed Hoyer is our POBO so that won't happen. Steele might've just earned the new Lester/Rizzo title with that outburst, he's tired of this bullshit and I'm loving it.

The new catch phrase Kap. Wake the F up!
I was at the game. Had a big section of cubs fans. We were all very nervous with Neris closing. Thrilled we got the W
Thanks for the reKap Kap! LET'S GO CUBS!!! ⚾️ ✌️💙🐻
I'm glad someone finally showed some emotion!
I wonder if that outburst by Steele helped!!🧐🤔
It didn't hurt.
Why would you need to wonder if it helped? Someone needs to do something. Quit being so analytical.
Thank you steele so much!
If the Cubs go on a run, remember Steele's outburst. We'll see tomorrow. One game at a time. Go Cubs
they won't
We sure will its tommrow LMAO and guess what GRAND SLAM !!!! Brewers up 7 - 1 !! I love coming on hear watchin the cubbies cry
@@stoneking777 Why? You really have no life?
They didn’t
@@mizer9510he’s a “brewers fan” even if their organization is better they had no idea they had a team until 2018
Finally some fire!
Justin was our ace, Justin is now our clubhouse leader
Another comment here. Love that you tell it like it is. I am 54 this year and have never seen a Cubs team with no energy and bad play. I really hope they do wake up. Thank you for great content.
You might be 54. How long have you been a Cubs fan? They have had many bad teams over the past 54 years. Many!

Finally some passion, so of course marquee shuts it off after 15 seconds? WTF

ROSS....
I didn't like the move, at all, when it was made! Jed makes unnecessary moves and does nothing about the glaring holes that need to be filled!
Justin Ballz of Steele is awesome!
Spot on Kap!! Counsel is a potted plant!! Does he even have a pulse?
To quote 38 Special, I knew that "Wild-Eyed Southern Boy" was gonna be the one to go 'full Zambrano' on their arses. 'Bout time.
Thank you Justin!!!!! at least someone cares
Council should of done that but Justin did.

Thanx Justin, swanson was supposed to lead but he couldn't lead a girl scout troop. Let's go!!!!
Without Bullpen help, idk how we run em down being 10.5 out 😢

That outburst should've happened last month when they were in a funk.
Justin Steele also failed to properly field a bunt in that inning. He was part of the meltdown
i think that was due to all the fielders circus play up to that point... he was justifiably fuming at that point
Bout to be a lawsuit now with the people that are hurt from the escalator really crazy stuff
Steele for coach !! 😊
The cubs are going on a 24 game winning streak!!
😂😂😂😂
LOL
What did YOUR. Beloved cubs do today kP
steele channeling all the cub fans.
is it possible to wake up MULTI F"in MILLIONAIRES??????
Little league of errors & why bring in Neris . I would be beyond pissed 😡 too with that little league of errors. They gotta win the series tomorrow.
Shout out to Justin literally the only one who cares besides PCA.
I love Justin Steele

this team is in free fall. feel bad for Steele and Imaga. You can trade everyone else and I wont miss them... Maybe Happ because he is turning it around it seems. And PCA is just a rookie... gotta teach him how to hit and learn the strike zone tho
Send Morel to the minors to learn the strike zone and how to play 3rd base..he is killing us
Was I watching the Cubs or the Keystone cops? 😀
Chicago fans want to see screaming and yelling vs the quiet company man soliloquy bullshit!
So us you care goddamnit!!

Steele, Imanaga, and Taillon are the only players who give a shit. Everybody else is putting in minimal to no effort.
And Neris still puts the winning run on base. He’s not a closer. He’s done, sorry. That’s on Jed and his judgment and eye for “talent”. Glad Steele and Little and Neris showed some fire. Where is it on the field and with the manager? Are they OK with mediocrity??
$40mil mistake. Plus add Ross's Contract. 🤔 Since we have Ross under contract this year . 😅🤷🏻 Could be just bring him back?
Steele will, like Maddox , eventually sign with another team, for less, just to wash to stench of the Cubs of his body.
Maybe steele should have learned how to execute a rundown and to learn how to field a bunt! Take that@
Steele should manage
